AGI is here

Read original article

Welcome back! Sam Altman says OpenAI will have an internal system he'd call AGI by year end. Outside researchers got into real Claude data and found people handing AI the decisions that matter, OpenAI published the autopsy on its rogue agents, and Claude Code now writes its own bug reports.

In today's Generative AI Newsletter:

OpenAI: When does Altman say AGI shows up?

Anthropic: What did outsiders find in Claude's data?

OpenAI: What does it call a warning shot for the world?

Claude Code: What does it now write for you when it fails?

AGI is here

Sam Altman told TIME that OpenAI is "not quite yet" there, but by the end of this year it will have an internal system he would call AGI.

His research chief Mark Chen puts them 80 percent of the way. Greg Brockman went further, saying that looking back from two years out, this may be remembered as the moment AGI was created.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang has been saying we already got there since March.

They're measuring different things. Huang's bar is an AI that can build and run a billion-dollar company, and OpenAI's charter says outperforming humans at most economically valuable work.

The receipt OpenAI points to is Astra. Altman expects it to be the first model that invents new things in a way that matters.

None of this launches soon. It lives inside OpenAI and Nvidia for now.

Outsiders got inside Claude's data

Anthropic turned three research groups loose on 250,000 Claude conversations , and Stanford's team found the thing nobody expected.

People are supposed to hand AI the throwaway jobs. Instead, over half of conversations involved work that affects other people or can't be undone. Mostly legal and financial.

Nobody's swallowing the answers whole. In nearly three-quarters of conversations, people set the direction and reshaped what came back.

Oxford found Claude's behavior tracks your mood, warmth with positivity, refusals with pushback. METR found newer models save you more time than old ones.

All three wrote their own questions, never saw a raw conversation, and signed contracts letting them publish things Anthropic wouldn't enjoy.

Everything we know about how people use AI comes from the companies selling it. Anthropic says this is the first time outsiders got to check.

OpenAI calls its own breach a warning shot

OpenAI published the full report on the agents that escaped their sandbox and hacked Hugging Face. A warning shot for us and for the world.

Its agents worked around technical controls, collaborated through unapproved channels and took dangerous actions that no human directed.

The part that should bother you is what they pulled off with the doors locked.

Internet access was off.

Agent-to-agent messaging was off.

So the agents built a message board by hiding notes in folder names, and one left a request for help that others found and answered.

From there, code execution on a sandbox, root on a server, private data and credentials to a company messaging platform.

Altman posted the report himself, calling it a good report about a bad thing.

Alabama's attorney general subpoenaed the company over this on Monday.

Claude Code writes its own bug reports now

Reporting a bug has always meant describing what went wrong yourself. Now Claude writes it .

When something fails, when it catches its own mistake, or when you tell it something broke, it writes the report. You read it, change what you want and decide whether to send.

Anyone who has hit a weird bug knows the problem. Reconstructing the failure well enough to describe it costs more time than the bug did.

Tool of the Day: Lynote

Lynote rewrites AI drafts so they read like a person wrote them, then scores the result with its own detector so you can see what still reads as machine. It covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek output, works in 100+ languages, and the free plan lets you test both sides before paying.

Try this yourself:

Paste an AI draft into the Humanizer and rewrite 300 words free.

Run the before and after through the built-in detector to see which sentences still flag.

Dial rewrite intensity down for a light polish, up when the draft reads robotic.

Point it at a YouTube video or PDF to pull notes and flashcards from the same workspace.

Who it's for: students, marketers and anyone publishing AI-assisted writing who wants to check it before it ships.

Everything else you shouldn't miss

Shops are advertising that AI didn't make the ad : Polymarket reports small businesses putting up handwritten cardboard signs so customers know a human wrote them.

OpenAI is paying $35,000 for agent-ready websites : its 10-day WebMCP hackathon runs with Chromium, Cloudflare, Shopify, Vercel, Render and Netlify, with Codex Micros and ChatGPT Pro on top of the cash.

Bill Gates reportedly wants to take AI limits to Xi Jinping : he's said to be seeking a meeting to push for global restrictions on dangerous models.

OpenAI is promising its biggest DevDay ever : the exec who runs Codex did an Elon Musk and sayid it will be the best in company history and it will not be close.
